Therapists
Mallory Casevechia, LPCMHSP, ACS
Mallory Casevechia graduated from the University of Tennessee with her bachelor’s in biology in 2013 and from Johnson University in 2016 with her master’s in clinical mental health counseling. She is a licensed professional counselor, with a mental health service provider and approved supervisor designation in the state of Tennessee, as well as an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) through CCE.
Her background in biological sciences strengthens her understanding of how the mind and the body are uniquely connected, and she incorporates that knowledge into her therapeutic framework.
Mallory’s experience in the mental health field has led her to work with individuals, couples, and groups in areas not limited to depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. She works primarily from a solution-focused, person-centered perspective to help clients work towards becoming their best selves. She utilizes dialectical behavior therapy skills, motivational interviewing, and a strengths-based approach to help clients gain awareness, knowledge, and skills for a brighter future.
Initially, Mallory worked with individuals, adults and adolescents, struggling against substance misuse and addiction in their transition to gain control over their lives. She helped those individuals take back their control to find new hope and a new way of living. Those experiences helped her uncover a passion for meeting clients where they are at and work with what they’ve got to become the best version of themselves.
When Mallory is not at work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter, and animals, while getting outside as much as possible. She is an avid rock climber, enjoys yoga and reading, and loves to try new things and meet new people.

Leah Clark, BA
Hello! I’m Leah. I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Johnson University. With a strong commitment to mental health and well-being, I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and families through a collaborative, client-centered approach. I am dedicated to applying evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I deeply value the importance of empathy, active listening, and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings.
In my spare time, you can usually find me in the kitchen learning a new culinary technique, watching Cardinals baseball, or searching for treasures at the thrift store. I love spending time with my family, particularly exploring the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains. As a girl from the Prairie State, I am thrilled to live where the mountains are (literally!) right outside my back door. I believe that nature, comfort food, and genuine human connection are three of life’s absolute necessities.
I believe the most important foundational aspect of therapy is developing a trusting therapist/client relationship. By pursuing my degree later in life, I bring years of relational experience, as well as experience with counseling in ministry settings. I am comfortable integrating spirituality into sessions, at the explicit request of the client. I am deeply committed to fostering and enhancing a therapist/client relationship that is characterized by trust, empathy, compassion, confidentiality, and emotional safety. I find it the most profound privilege to be able to meet clients in their deepest hurts and most joyous moments.
I can’t wait to meet you!
Brooke Hilemon, BS
You’ve made it. You have taken the steps to get here. Oftentimes, when we take steps towards change, it can feel overwhelming and scary – but you are not alone. Whether you're facing personal struggles, relationship issues, or navigating the complexities of daily life, counseling can be a valuable addition to your healing process. As someone who is passionate about helping others reach their goals and grow, I would be honored to walk with you as we explore your thoughts and emotions.
Hi, I’m Brooke, and I’m so glad you’re here.
I am a graduate student therapist, currently studying to achieve a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Throughout my time in school, I have strived to cultivate a deep understanding of the human experience and have developed a passion for fostering positive change. I have had the opportunity to work with young adults on a range of issues including anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, and stress management.
With a client-centered and emotions-focused approach, my desire for counseling sessions is to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. I strongly believe in a collaborative and strengths-based approach, empowering my clients to discover their inner resources and resilience.
In my spare time, I can be found coaching tennis, making (and drinking) lots of coffee, playing with my cats and dog, or spending time with family, friends, and boyfriend. I enjoy a cozy night in with a warm mug in hand, watching my favorite shows or playing video games.
If this resonates with you, I would love to discuss what our collaboration could look like. I am so excited to meet you, and I can’t wait to start this journey together.
